Determine your objective and the presence you want to have in the community <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Get out a pen and paper before we begin.<\/p>\n<p>Now, consider the marketing goals of your business or how you want to be remembered by others. Make a list of three social media <a href=\"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/why-is-digital-marketing-important-for-branding\/\">marketing or digital<\/a> marketing strategies for your business.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if you\u2019re a vegan restaurant owner in the food industry your objectives might be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Creating awareness for vegans<\/li>\n<li>Focusing on healthy and organic foods<\/li>\n<li>Customer service\/engagement<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you&#8217;ve finished your objectives, look them over when you publish to make sure you&#8217;re living up to your social media marketing strategy objectives.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Create_Your_Business_Persona\"><\/span><strong>2. Create Your Business Persona<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Create social networking or social platform theme. Do you want to be characterized as witty, accurate, or free-thinking?<\/p>\n<p>For example, the Twitter handle for Wendy\u2019s does a fantastic job creating a sassy persona and not giving a care.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pixelcutlabs-com.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-07-at-10.24.35-AM-300x177.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1\" width=\"300\" height=\"177\" \/>She does a wonderful job engaging with her audience and maintaining her character in each reply. She does a good social media marketing plan.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s critical to connect with your readers on an emotional level. Wendy&#8217;s tweets make their audience laugh, so consider how you want your visitors to feel after reading your material.<\/p>\n<p>Do you want people to start eating healthier? Do you want them to get up and conquer the world? Or do you wish they would leave them wanting more?<\/p>\n<p>Are you still using your pen and paper? Make a mental list of emotions you want your readers to experience when they read your work.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Be_Personable\"><\/span><strong>3. Be Personable<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Pretend that you don\u2019t have a computer screen blocking you and your audience. Make your captions as if you\u2019re talking to someone face to face.<\/p>\n<p>Or post videos, post success stories, and other social efforts to engage followers and get new audiences.<\/p>\n<p>When you write your captions, step back from your computer for a second before hitting enter. You don\u2019t want your content, blog post, or writing to come off as robotic or impersonal.<\/p>\n<p>Share anecdotes or instances that are relevant to your audience. If you&#8217;re stumped, go back to your company&#8217;s mission!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Use_Social_Media_Networks_That_Make_Sense_For_Your_Business\"><\/span><strong>4. Use Social Media Networks That Make Sense For Your Business<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Put yourself in the shoes of your target audience. For instance, if I was into vegan food restaurants and looking for somewhere to eat where would I search?<\/p>\n<p>Yelp\/Google\/Instagram. Use the\u00a0social networks that make sense\u00a0for your business. If you&#8217;re into vegan meals, you won&#8217;t need to be on LinkedIn. If you&#8217;re not sure which keywords to use, check each social media platforms search bar for your company&#8217;s market.<\/p>\n<p>I would input &#8220;vegan organic meals,&#8221; then I&#8217;d look at what kind of results appear. If they aren&#8217;t connected to my company objectives or market, I&#8217;ll use a platform where I think my audience will search for me.<\/p>\n<p>Always think in your audience\u2019s shoes!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Use_All_Social_Networks_Differently\"><\/span><strong>5. Use All Social Networks Differently<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>All social media platforms contain some content and image. However, each outlet serves a different purpose. You wouldn\u2019t use LinkedIn the way you used Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you would use\u00a0Instagram to display your images, whereas you might use Facebook to post more videos. You may use both LinkedIn and Facebook to increase your company professionally while getting personal with your audience.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you have what social media networks you want to use, think of ways you can use each a little differently.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Using_Hashtags\"><\/span><strong>6. Using Hashtags<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hashtags are sometimes neglected, and users don&#8217;t always know how to utilize them correctly. Consider your company&#8217;s goal. You want as many of your hashtags as possible to be relevant.<\/p>\n<p>Another good practice is to avoid spammy hashtags and repeat tags on all of your photos; doing so might raise a red flag. We discovered a list of the top 100 hashtags to use for 2022 that may assist your business in development.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to add personal hashtags on what your business is about; include a hashtag for your company. That way if someone ever searches for your company your pictures will be consolidated by one hashtag.<\/p>\n<p>Take a second and jot down your 30 hashtags (adding more will give you an error on IG) somewhere digital (phone\/computer) so you can copy\/paste when needed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Creating_Hashtags_30_Max\"><\/span><strong>7. Creating Hashtags (30 Max)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pixelcutlabs-com.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-07-at-10.50.50-AM-287x300.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Hashtags for Instagram\" width=\"287\" height=\"300\" \/>Once you\u2019ve created your hashtags for your social media marketing strategy it\u2019s time to post! For Instagram always add your hashtags in the comment section immediately after you post your picture.<\/p>\n<p>Now that you have your 30 hashtags add the 5 dots like the picture to the right. Copy-paste these tags into a comment on your photo after you&#8217;ve published it (along with 5 dots above) and put these tags in a remark below.<\/p>\n<p>The 5 dots ensure that your tags don\u2019t pop up in your post. Instead, they\u2019ll show up in the comment section as \u201c\u2026\u201d This helps to keep your captions clean.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Post_Consistently\"><\/span><strong>8. Post Consistently<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The amount you post depends on what leveraging social media you are on. For Instagram, posting every day is essential to keep your following.<\/p>\n<p>However, posting every day on LinkedIn would overwhelm your audience, especially if people mostly go on LinkedIn to job hunt.<\/p>\n<p>They don\u2019t want to be bombarded by content every day.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a list of the suggested amount of posts per week:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Twitter \u2013 3 times\/day<\/li>\n<li>Facebook \u2013 2 times\/day at most<\/li>\n<li>LinkedIn \u2013 1 time\/every other day<\/li>\n<li>Google+ \u2013 3 times\/day<\/li>\n<li>Pinterest \u2013 5x per\/day<\/li>\n<li>Instagram \u2013 1.5 times\/day<\/li>\n<li>Blog \u2013 2 times\/week<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Post_during_times_you_know_your_viewers_will_be_present\"><\/span><strong>9. Post during times you know your viewers will be present<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve decided where you&#8217;ll publish and how often, look into the times when your audience is online. Advanced targeting on your target audiences and target demographic.<\/p>\n<p>Go to your Google search bar and type in \u201cwhat time to post on social media for \u2018industry you\u2019re in.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For example, if I\u2019m posting relevant content for vegan food restaurants, I would type in \u201cwhat time to post on social media for restaurants\u201d I would want to post when people are deciding where they should go for lunch or dinner, i.e., 11 AM and 6 PM.<\/p>\n<p>This also differs day to day, because over the weekend people eat a little later than usual. Post according to your business brand marketing and when your audience will be searching.<\/p>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t locate a suitable time to publish, consider what time your audience would be looking for information.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a press-on nail company aiming to appeal to younger consumers might post during schoolless hours.<\/p>\n<p>Having trial and errors are okay. Once you start posting on your social media platforms more often, you\u2019ll get a feel for when your audience is most visible to your content strategy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Make_Your_Bio_Straightforward\"><\/span><strong>10. Make Your Bio Straightforward<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/pixelcutlabs-com.exactdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Screen-Shot-2018-03-07-at-10.26.46-AM.png?strip=all&amp;lossy=1&amp;resize=282%2C164&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Wendy's Twitter Handle\" width=\"282\" height=\"164\" \/>People don\u2019t have much patience when they search. Think back to your own user base search experience. If you don\u2019t find what you\u2019re looking for, most of the time you get impatient and leave.<\/p>\n<p>So keep that same user base experience for your audience. When people get to your page, they should be able to see within 3 seconds what your social media sites are about.<\/p>\n<p>Your bio should contain:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Your business name<\/li>\n<li>Where you are based<\/li>\n<li>Something unique you offer\/persona<\/li>\n<li>Link to your website or blog.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The bio for Wendy&#8217;s is quite good. They include their name and website address, which is useful, as well as information about what they provide. You can also see their lively business personality through the picture. It\u2019s easy to find\/read and it&#8217;s straight to the point!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_Post_Quality_Pictures\"><\/span><strong>11.

This VeganFoodSpot does a great job with its lighting and content.

This post above has greens and browns as their color scheme.<\/p>\n<p>The colors are also very similar, and their postings remain neat.

Make sure you&#8217;re keeping personable as you go back to #3.<\/p>\n<p>Keep track of people who respond to your social posts; if it&#8217;s the same audience that keeps replying, reach out to them personally and provide a give-away or a free dessert the next time they visit.<\/p>\n<p>Think back to your objective, if customer service is one of them then follow through!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"14_Ask_To_Collaborate\"><\/span><strong>14.

A lot of internet users, Facebook users, and other users from different <a href=\"https:\/\/omaha-seo.com\/blog\/8-social-media-tips-for-small-businesses\/\">social media platforms will know your business<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This technique allows you to create a new pool of users who view your page, increasing your awareness.<\/p>\n<p>Take a second and go to Instagram\/ Facebook\/ or even Google or other social media channels and type in \u201cvegan restaurants\u201d or \u201cvegan bloggers\u201d or whatever matches your social media strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Look for a social media platform that fits your business objective.<\/p>\n<p>Consider whether their material is clean, and would you want your company&#8217;s name associated with it?<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve found them, follow them or like their page and then send them a message that says something like:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHey \u2018insert their name\u2019 I have been looking at your page and the vegan content you\u2019ve been posting.

After leaving a CFO role at a seven\u2011figure nonprofit, I built my first online business and hit #1 in AOL search within weeks\u2014then clients started asking me to replicate those results for them. Since then, I\u2019ve helped businesses turn WordPress sites into high\u2011performing assets through technical SEO, site architecture, speed, and content strategy, and I\u2019ve built and sold a WordPress site after growing it to 1,000+ organic keyword rankings. Today I own or co\u2011own multiple city\u2011based SEO properties that compete at the top in tough U.S. markets, and I now offer AI SEO so brands can show up in Google results and AI\u2011generated answers.
